Sigqibo signs on for big bout in Japan

World title pursuer Yanga Sigqibo is keeping his fingers crossed that the big fight he was promised in Japan does not fizzle out. The Duncan Village boxer is scheduled to face three-time world champion Kosei Tanaka in a high-stakes junior bantamweight clash in Japan on December 15. This will be Sigqibo’s biggest fight of his professional career and carries prestige equal to a world title shot even though Tanaka is no longer a world title holder.
